I guess I blew the curve...

Hey, most people answering the poll question are saying less than 60. That sounds alot better than 50-100. :) Man, I hate to wait...... I was a miserable child 3 weeks before CHristmas...... <heavy sigh>

Have noticed that there is no poll question for people from 80 to 120 or so days without complications? Maybe you have read one of my earlier bleatings that my processing time was 98 day but my wife's was processed in just 54 days. We sent our apps. in on the same day (01/03/2006)! :roll:

Seems the current average is 4 weeks, so since you're beyond that, I'd call them.

Uh... is my math off or is that only 3 months? 90 days still is unacceptable, but not as bad as 120.

DPS recieved my packet on February 6th. 68 days processing.

My wife just called and said I got a present in the mail. Hmm... what could that be?

Yep, got that purty little red, white and blue card in the mail today. Envelope was postmarked two days ago (Monday) and status changed to "issued" last Friday.

Now I'm off to go get acquainted with my new "priviledge." Glad to have it all taken care of now.

Get on the horn tomorrow. That's too long. You should get a letter with a pin # within a month at least. Sometimes someone falls through the cracks.

Good luck. Sic em!!! :twisted:

While we all patiently waiting, I just thought I'd ask, how many times a day do you check to see if your status has changed on the website. I think I check atleast 10 times. I guess I should remove the word patiently from my first sentence.

Today I am sitting at 56 days since it was received on the 23rd of Feb. To answer your question RedRaider (sssss I'm and Aggie :cool: ) I usually check once I get to work in the morning, then once again right after lunch, then finally when I get home just after 5.

Hmmm, just now thinking about it, I guess the first thing in the morning and the after the work day checks are redundant as they most definitely won't work between 5 pm and 8 am. Oh well, won't change my schedule anyways hah.

Impatiently waiting

Once a day until I reached day 55, then it was twice a day minimum, morning and late afternoon. But, If I'm bored, I'll check for the heck of it. :grin:
